Love Says

“And love says I will, I will take care of you To everything that is near” Rumi

True Love, True Peace, True Women

I cried with gratitude and joy when I saw this video. The song, and the dancing of these women of all ages and walks of life comforted and liberated my heart. Together, regardless of our differences, we can spread a message that every human being deserves respect and to be protected against violence, especially children…

MIA – Hibernation

Where have I been; in a cave, under a rock or in an igloo? Temperatures in the single digits keep the door closed. Howling wind and creaking windows cause me to pull the blankets closer as I mindlessly challenge myself at solitaire, or watch Netflix. Am I a bear in hibernation? This winter is no worse…

What Really Matters

I have to share this post by Michael at Have A Dream because it so completely expresses what I have learned about life. Here is an excerpt from the post, but please read the full text for yourself here: What Really Matters “You see, the measure of life is not its duration but its donation.…

Winter Meditation

Under the snow in the cold damp earth there are seeds of new life. Winter hides the secret of renewal. One day those seeds will surely burst with energy driving shoots up to break through the top soil. My heart explodes with thoughts of spring, new growth, and the blossoms that fill the air with…

Weekly Photo Challenge – Resolved

How unresolved my life is right now! There are so many problems hanging in the air that I feel like I’ve fallen into a deep well in the woods. I am confronted with the results of my poor judgment in the past and my limitations in the present. The only thing I have resolved to…

My “I Did It” List

I learned a long time ago not to make a big long list of expectations for the new year, in other words, not to set myself up for big disappointments. That doesn’t mean I’m not motivated or that I don’t intend to accomplish things. I intend to accomplish whatever needs to be, and I’m motivated…

My Life Experience on a Sticky Note

My sticky note to myself, made with textgram. In the midst of all the ups and downs of life, make it a priority to love, laugh and be grateful in 2013!

The Most Memorable Christmas

I went to Israel & Palestine one year during the week before Christmas. I went to the site that is recognized as Jesus birthplace; a cave under the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Obviously there was no church there when Jesus was born, and the site was not elaborately adorned as it is now, but it was…

Interferance

This always seems to happen to my schedules, plans and attempts to create health, discipline and order in my life. Something comes up, someone needs something or I have to go somewhere. It’s a good thing that I have a flexible mind and attitude toward life. I started Yoga classes in October, but then I…

Health & Peace

As I am on the downside of the hill now, I’ve come to realize (the hard way) how vital health is to one’s peace of mind. I happen to be one of those people who believes that each one of us contributes to the peace and well being of the planet through our own thoughts and lifestyle…
